Amongst the many topics discussed during the festive bash at the National Brewing Museum was the pending Christmas holiday break.
Jonny Fitton pushing one of his several beer glasses to one side announced to great joy from those in earshot. “The Shirley Stomp in the Slop” that’s what we will do followed by hot broth, mulled wine and mince pies at the Fitton homestead. Louise gasped but smiled as she caringly looked at the Fitton in mid gusto.
So here are the details …
Saturday 28th December: Activity – Cycle, run, cycle. ”The Shirley Stomp in the Slop”
Meet at Jonny’s place, Dale End Road, Hilton, DE65 5FW, 0930hrs ish for a 1000hrs start
The cycle: A short cycle route meandering to Shirley in deepest Derbyshire. Park up the cycles, “TRAIL” running shoes on and then off around the paths, up the gentle rises, around the lake and through the occasional slop that is the delightful Osmaston Park. About 5 miles run. Then back on the cycles for warming cycle back to Jonny’s for lashings of ginger beer, hot broth, mulled wine, mince pies and biscuits with no chocolate on them.
All welcome. A great morning out!
